How is the vulnerability level calculated?
The vulnerability level is calculated using a weighting system. After a scan, GFI LanGuard groups the
discovered vulnerabilities in categories sorted by severity rating:
High
Medium
Low
For each rating, a weighted score is given. This is based on the total number of vulnerabilities per
category.
Note
When the vulnerability level cannot be assessed and/or vulnerability scanning was not
performed, GFI LanGuard gives a rating of N/A.
